** Description changed:

+ SRU Justification
+ 
+ Impact: CONFIG_SATA_HIGHBANK was changed from y to m after trusty, with
+ no justification appearing in the git history. This can cause problems
+ booting on some systems.
+ 
+ Fix: Change the option back to y.
+ 
+ Regression Potential: Minimal, as this only switches a driver from being
+ a module to being built-in, and the driver will only be used if the
+ device appears in a platform's device tree.
+ 
+ ---
+ 
  Sometime between trusty and xenial, CONFIG_SATA_HIGHBANK was changed
  from y to m. I believe the change was in utopic, but it's hard to tell.
  
  This makes booting on Calxeda Highbank systems pretty difficult since
  you can't get to the root filesystem on a SATA disk unless you were
  smart enough to have initramfs-tools include the sata_highbank module.
  On a clean install, you'd need to know to drop out of the installer, and
  rebuild the initramfs appropriately.
  
  Any chance that could be changed back to y for armhf?
